The Passenger

Stopped by here to get a quick drink and I was in awe at the claw machine lolol. It got packed so I didn't stay long but the drinks were good and the music was cool. Service was also good considering all the people surrounding the bar.

This was a so-so cocktail bar experience DrinksZendaya ...goodMule....meh It had a cashew spirit in it which was a new ingredient for me, which is the only reason I wanted to try it, but it was honestly very sour and didn't have a good flavor profile The decor is really what I really liked about the place. Very cool. Artistry and presentation. Upside down bicycles etc. Nice vibe. They were doing karaoke when we were there. Unfortunately we did not partake. If I were to come back I might need a little bit more alcohol in me to do it Parking is on the street so make sure you come at a certain time or make sure you take an Uber Service was okay. Occasionally some of the staff were a bit unprofessional not towards us but just in general with their language. Not something you want to see and hear when you're in and outside establishment but The price is pretty consistent with DC prices. Two drinks cost me about 40 bucks. Overall, I think it was okay but with the competition that's quite strong for cocktail bars speakeasies and what not. I don't think this is one I would want to repeat.

Met up with some friends here to grab some drinks. They don't have a kitchen, but they do allow you to bring in outside food, so that's a great alternative. I ordered two different drinks - Frida's Passion and Stay Off Oprah's Couch. Frida's was way better. I feel like I could have made the Oprah drink at home. The bartender was friendly, which I liked. They also had karaoke, which was a nice touch. Overall, I enjoyed it. The decor was cute and funky, and the crowd was chill.

We accidentally ended up at The Passenger because we were at a nearby event that was WAY too crowded for our liking. Fortunately, The Passenger had a very chill Saturday night vibe that we needed. Our bartender was pretty great, and she even chatted with us for a little bit since the bar wasn't busy. The decorations (even without the holiday decorations) was a potpourri of Latin American randomness - something that I can enjoy in a bar. The Passenger had a very cool holiday cocktail list, especially with the names of the cocktails. For my holiday drinking pleasure, I went with the Mom's in Mexico for X-mas (tequila, grapefruit, lime, and rosemary) and Gringo Dat Stole X-mas (gin, cochi rosa, lime, ginger, absinthe). I thought BOTH drinks were beautifully prepared. If I had to pick between the two, I'd go with the Gringo Dat Stole X-mas because I'm more of a fan of gin over tequila. Compared to other similar spots in DC, I thought the cocktail prices were pretty reasonable. Although I live outside of DC, I definitely will add this place to my list of go-to spots.

This is a dive bar in a fun neighborhood. Drinks are cheap and you can get Puerto Rican food from the restaurant upstairs to eat downstairs at the bar if you prefer. The bar was empty at happy hour and I got there before my friend but when I walked in, I tried to say hi to the bartender and the person they were talking to but they completely ignored me. No one talked to me or asked what I wanted until my friend came and we went up to them. It seems like it would be a good place to pre-game but you might want to go somewhere else if you actually want to have a fun bar experience.

Great DC institutional DC dive bar with some rockstar bartenders. Cocktail program is one of the most affordable in DC.

Fabulous neighborhood bar with the nicest staff! They have a unique collection of spirits and can whip you up anything you want and will make something fun for you if you tell them what you like. One of the bartenders made me a fun drink with a house made raspberry syrup I really enjoyed. Seems like they change their menu often to feature new cocktails. Drinks are reasonably priced. COnsidering the quality I'd expect them to be more expensive but they fall in the $12-$15 range. Amazing place to get a quality cocktail that isn't $20.Fun decor and chill vibe. Came on a Friday night around 8pm. Not too crowded and space to sit at the bar. A great spot and can't wait to come back!

This little dive bar off 7th Street has a unique atmosphere. The decorations are pretty cooky and the people are different than who I am usually around. They were playing some good 90s R&B which I loved! The drinks were overpriced in my opinion, but they were pretty yummy! The bartender was nice and made sure that we were ok. Overall, it's a cool spot if you are looking for something different.

Great neighborhood bar, cocktails are decent and cost less than dc cocktail bars - a nice, laidback space to hang out, even nicer when weather is good and they open up the doors

I ended up here with a colleague sort by accident and I'm so glad we did. The space was super chill and has great music. There was lots of space for a nice range of cozy or more energetic options. Cory (sp?) was super friendly and knew the tap list really well. Cory made it an awesome visit and made sure we were well-cared for. Definitely a fun spot to check out!
